Cover Story: Transition-metal-carbides are very promising nanomaterials and are currently used for electrocatalytic applications for green hydrogen production. This communication reports on the one-step laser pyrolysis process as an alternative method for the facile and scalable synthesis of molybdenum carbides/carbon nanocomposites. Commercial molybdenum oxide dissolved in water was used as a low-cost environmentally friendly precursor. The crystallized parts of the nanocomposites are mainly composed of two types of carbides with different apparent crystallite sizes, 21 ± 1 nm and 9 ± 1 nm for Mo2C and MoC1-x, respectively.
